Novak Djokovic (Serbia): The modern great has won Wimbledon titles in 2011, 2014 and 2015 before going on a four-title spree in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 with 2020 cancelled due to Covid 19.
Apart from these three, Bjorn Borg (Sweden) had also won five consecutive Wimbledon titles from 1976-80 while Boris Becker (Germany) won in 1985, 1986 and 1989.
As Alcaraz already has two back-to-back titles, he has every chance to join Sampras, Federer and Djokovic in the elite list of players to win three consecutive Wimbledon championships since 1991.
His current form also suggests that he'd be the one to beat, having won his second consecutive French Open title in a marathon five-set thriller against Jannik Sinner where he saved three title points in set four to mount his epic comeback.
